Plot summary

What is the life of a Geisha like once her beauty has faded and she has retired? Kin has saved, and become a wealthy money-lender, spending her days coldly collecting debts. Even her best friends, fellow Geisha Tomi, Nobu, and Tamae, are now indebted to her. For all of them, the glamour of their young lives has passed; Tomi and Tamae have disappointing children. Kin has two former lovers who still pursue her; one she wants to see, and the other she doesn't. But even the one she remembers fondly, when he shows up, proves less than satisfactory.

What a painful disappointment! Naruse masturbated Hayashi’s Bangiku

What a painful disappointment! Naruse masturbated Hayashi’s Bangiku; he turned Kin into a lioness of a moneylender, resentful to boot, and the original story into a painful melodrama of post-war survival featuring four bitter ex-geishas. Any adaptation should offer a different version. Adapting does not mean vulgar betrayal of the peculiarities of the characters in the original work. If I turned Elizabeth Bennet into an insecure and submissive woman, I wouldn’t dare call any version I came up with ‘Pride and Prejudice’ under any pretext. Adding the other three geishas to spice up the film with bursts of other stories is one thing. Stripping Okin (Kin in the original) of her obsession with beauty and her ritual with ice as if it were a face mask, and her hormone injections (she even gives herself one in the middle of a meeting with Tabe, excited), and omitting her rigorous diet is to corrupt Kin’s personality. Compared to the story, this film is mediocre not only because it eradicates the psychological introspection of a 56-year-old woman (written, moreover, by another woman in a profession considered masculine) and her post-war feminine resilience (it was published in a magazine immediately after the lost war, in 1948), ....continue: https://wp.me/pguJCZ-pr
